THE EPISCOPAL EVANGELIST.
DR.. Courtney's Three Services Yesterday
Ills Talk to Sunday School Teachers.

DR.. Courtney held four services YESTERDAY the
first one at Christ Church, at $50 o'clock in the
morning. This service was we'll attended, but
was not as large as the service held at the same
place at night. The MONDAY service, at the
Criminal Court room had an audience much
larger than that OF the day before, the room be-
ing well filled. His discourse was made to hang
upon the two questions, "Does it really matter
if l sin" and What does it matter2' He gave
number of apt illustrations, among which was
the sin of Achan.
The service at o'clock was talk to Sunday
school teachers. He divided this discourse into
three parts. Answering the question as to the
object of teaching he showed that it was II on
account of the ignorance Of parents. (2) because
of the impossibility of general religious educa-
ton. and ~ because of the advantage to the
teacher. He then discussed the question as to
what the teacher was to teach and said the
things to be taught were the ssix principles as
named in Romans xii, beginning with the tenth
verse. He said those principles and the Cate
chism were to be taught. He divided the Cate
chism into three parts-privilege, duty and grace.
AS to method of teaching he showed there
must first be aptitude-the teacher must be
able to teach in theory and practice. In speak
ing of prayer he said he did not mean the teach
ers should kneel down and pray: "God bless my
Sunday school," but that they should single out
each scholar and pray to God according to the
individual and characteristic need Of each
scholar, and to do that the teacher must make
himself acquainted with each scholar and each
parent. He said one could not be good Sun
day school teacher without faith that God wonld
give His blessing on the seed sown, without hav-
ing hope to expect to see the seed grow.
The discourse last evening was on the text
Choose We this day whom thou wilt serve
The church was we'll filled and the audience
deeply attentive. There will be three services
at the church to-day and the usual MONDAY serv
ice at the Criminal Court room.
